Customer Reviews
Opening my eyes to physics!
This podcast has been such an essential part of my journey into physics. I love the challenging concepts that they talk about and the back to basics explanations. The exposure to Matt Strassler has been eye opening as well. A must listen to anyone who seeks more knowledge about our universe!
Great pod! Great info from great hosts!
Been listening for years now. I never get tired of this podcast. Daniel and Jorge manage to keep the episodes fresh and informative. If you have any curiosity about astronomy, cosmology, physics or anything related you will love this pod. The chemistry between the hosts is very likable and seems natural. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested about our natural world and what it’s made of.
Terrific!
Great, fun and so informative! If you are reading your comments, can you do a podcast on: Gravity - how can there be gravitons if gravity is just a bending of space-time. Whats up with that?
Y’all are the best!
